Summerville, Administrative center in South Carolina, United States
Summerville encompasses portions of Dorchester, Berkeley, and Charleston counties, with tree-lined streets and numerous residential neighborhoods extending across its territory.
The settlement, established in 1785 as Pineland Village, grew when Charleston plantation owners sought refuge from seasonal diseases in the higher elevation.
The Flowertown Festival, initiated in 1972, brings together artists and craftspeople annually, making it South Carolina's largest arts gathering with 200,000 visitors.
The town's visitor center at 402 North Main Street provides maps, brochures, and guidance for exploring local attractions seven days per week.
Summerville implemented the nation's first tree protection law in 1847, establishing a fine of 25 dollars for unauthorized removal of trees.
